Mouse pads and desk pads

Every mousepad, desk pad and coaster is made in our own workshop. All documents are made from two sustainable materials: cork and wool felt, combined with a solvent-free, non-toxic adhesive. Together they create an elegant two-layer design. Felt dampens sound, is self-cleaning and ensures a pleasantly warm feeling on the skin, especially for wrists that are sensitive to cold.

Like all our felt products, we also make the mouse pads and desk pads in our own small factory. Every step up to the finished underlay is important for your desk beautifier. Some are done by hand. Our computer-controlled high-tech cutting machine ensures precise cutting.

Our small and large keyboard, laptop and mouse pads are made of cork granulate and natural wool felt. 2 mm each nestle together and ensure an elegant design. The lower layer of cork granulate also has an anti-slip effect.

A natural property of felt is sound absorption. Noises caused by clicking the mouse and typing on the keyboard are muffled. If a laptop or keyboard is placed on the pure table surface and moved back and forth, scratchy noises may even occur, depending on the surface. This is completely avoided with our felt pads. You will have a more relaxed and pleasant working experience.

Felt made from wool has some outstanding advantages over synthetic felt. On the one hand, it has a matt surface finish, and on the other hand, it shows almost no signs of aging. It is self-cleaning and can be dabbed or brushed off in the event of a mishap. If it is removed immediately, no traces are often left behind.

Cork is an outstanding material in many ways. The cork comes from cork oak trees, which are grown in sustainable forestry in Portugal. Farming and harvesting is a traditional profession with a good living. After peeling, the oak trees produce new cork bark every time and bind 3 times as much CO₂ as without harvesting. However, peeling is only possible by hand. A cut that is too deep prevents the new bark from forming.

Cork is already a very sustainable material. It is the starting material for many applications, including our cork material. Of course, during processing there are also leftovers, such as cork granules. Products made from it therefore contribute to the sustainable use of our resources. It's also 100% natural and recyclable and is the perfect base for our mousepads, desk pads and coasters.

Our wool felt is manufactured in a traditional German company. A mixture of merino wool and other types of wool is used, which creates a particularly even and dense felt structure.

The wool is sourced from trusted shepherds who refrain from the so-called mulesing. Mulesing is a very painful removal of the skin folds around the anus in Merino wool sheep without anesthesia. The main country of origin for our Merino wool is New Zealand. Here, mulesing is prohibited. In Australia, only non-mulesing, non-Merino wool is sourced.

The felt and cork layers are connected using a solvent-free PVA dispersion adhesive. PVA is a synthetically produced, thermoplastic material which, as a dispersion, has excellent adhesive properties. PVA is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic and is considered biocompatible (no negative impact on metabolism upon direct contact). PVA decomposes completely within certain microbial environments.

Lacquered table tops and work surfaces made of glass or stone have a cold surface. But natural wood panels can also feel uncomfortably cool on the wrists. This is finally over with our felt pads. And if it gets very hot in the summer, another natural property of wool felt comes into play. It has a temperature-balancing effect and is therefore pleasant even in summer.
